Today is Tuesday, May 10, the 130th day of 2022.
There are 235 days left in the year.



Today’s Highlight in History:

On May 10, 1940, during World War II, German forces began invading the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium and France. The same day, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain resigned, and Winston Churchill formed a new government.

On this date:

In 1775, Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain Boys, along with Col. Benedict Arnold, captured the British-held fortress at Ticonderoga, New York.

In 1818, American patriot Paul Revere, 83, died in Boston.

In 1865, Confederate President Jefferson Davis was captured by Union forces in Irwinville, Georgia.

In 1869, a golden spike was driven in Promontory, Utah, marking the completion of the first transcontinental railroad in the United States.

In 1924, J. Edgar Hoover was named acting director of the Bureau of Investigation (later known as the Federal Bureau of Investigation, or FBI).


In 1933, the Nazis staged massive public book burnings in Germany.

In 1941, Adolf Hitler’s deputy, Rudolf Hess, parachuted into Scotland on what he claimed was a peace mission. (Hess ended up serving a life sentence at Spandau Prison until 1987, when he apparently committed suicide at age 93.)

In 1994, Nelson Mandela took the oath of office in Pretoria to become South Africa’s first Black president. The state of Illinois executed serial killer John Wayne Gacy, 52, for the murders of 33 young men and boys.

In 1995, 104 miners were killed in an elevator accident in Orkney, South Africa.

In 2002, a tense 39-day-old standoff between Israeli troops and Palestinian gunmen at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem ended with 13 suspected militants flown into European exile and 26 released into the Gaza Strip.

In 2013, the Internal Revenue Service apologized for what it acknowledged was “inappropriate” targeting of conservative political groups during the 2012 election to see if they were violating their tax-exempt status.

In 2014, Michael Sam was picked by the St. Louis Rams in the seventh round of the NFL draft, becoming the first openly gay player drafted by a pro football team. (Sam retired after an unsuccessful stint with the Rams and the Dallas Cowboys.)

Post by: Travellin Dave on May 10, 2022, 09:58:02 AM
Ten years ago: Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney apologized for “stupid” high school pranks that might have gone too far and moved quickly to stamp out any notion that he’d bullied schoolmates because they were gay. In Syria, twin suicide car bombs exploded outside a military intelligence building, killing 55 people. Legendary car designer Carroll Shelby, 89, died in Dallas.

Five years ago: All but ignoring the unfurling drama over Russia and the U.S. election, President Donald Trump sought to advance prospects for cooperation between the former Cold War foes in Syria and elsewhere in a rare Oval Office meeting with Vladimir Putin’s top diplomat, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov (sir-GAY’ lahv-RAWF’).

One year ago: Eleven days of fierce fighting between Israel and Hamas broke out when Hamas fired a barrage of long-range rockets toward Jerusalem in response to what it said were Israeli provocations; Israel quickly responded with a series of airstrikes. U.S. regulators expanded the use of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine to children as young as 12. The White House said it was monitoring fuel supply shortages in parts of the Southeast resulting from a ransomware attack that shut down a major pipeline system.

To me, the CAO is fuller than the 10th Anniversary. The 10th is a decent enough Diesel, buy nothing to write home about. One of the reasons I brought it with me to the course.

As for the golf, I rarely hit them straight, but it was still better than working. 84 against a par of 71. Front 9 was better, including a nice birdie on a long par 4. Back 9 I was all over the place.

The course is actually the closest 18 hole layout to my house, but oddly enough, I probably haven't played there in 10 years. Part of the reason I struggled a bit was the unfamiliarity. And their rough seemed ready for a US Open.

Technically only Seven for me because Mike Hagerty died recently and shouldn't be on the list. Also, wouldn't be able to recognize Donovan today so I didn't count him. Lastly, I almost confused Dave Mason with Nick Mason but I can say that I know them both.

Dear Mr. President,

Well, I'm not as rich as I was this time last year. Thanks, a bunch.

No, really...I'm serious, Joe. Thank-you! We're getting into bear market territory, and while my cash reserves are eroding daily, the time's coming very soon for me to buy. Even you can't fuck up the market forever.

And truthfully, I do know that the state of the economy isn't really your fault, not directly, anymore than the booming market of your predecessor was his. Presidents don't really have much control over the economy. I do know that, just as you know it. But since you like to play the blame game, fair's fair and I get to as well.  It's just politics, amigo.  And I've been watching you do politics since the Watergate era.  I was only eight-years-old then, but I was living through the Stagflation that was most mostly attributable to your party's awful fiscal policies, and it left scars on my young soul.  Poverty does that to kids, and we remember.

But...Presidents CAN influence public sentiment, and you obviously have screwed the pooch in that regard. CF your public approval ratings. So the market is tanking.

Thank you for that, because I get to go buy equity at lower prices. And the electorate is going to punish you and your party this fall. It's a win-win!

So keep appealing to your SJWs over the abortion thing. Definitely keep that up. Hell, even James Carville has bought into that whole distraction, and the LAST thing I want is for you to suddenly take his advice to Bill Clinton in the 90s seriously. So you just keep playing the culture war cards.

Keep up the mediocre work. Please.

Best regards,

Raz

Time to go get some gas for the mower and have at the lawn.
Maybe a third cigar!
Indeed.

Don't snort cocaine while scuba diving.

That would be no easy feat.

That was a nice letter. I think Uncle Joe will appreciate it. What does a stamp cost these days?

Good afternoon.
I left my cigars on my desk at home. About the only thing I have with me is an old Alec Bradley Raices Cubanas. It'll have to do for today. Too bad because I had my sights on an EPC La Historia. Looks like I've already picked tomorrow's cigar.

So yesterday's Wordle... I never close my browser tabs and therefore had FETUS. Got it in four. Only my eldest got the same word as me. The rest of the household got SHINE.
And I hit refresh, so I got shine in three.

Today's took four.
Same
Three for me.

I wonder, do they automatically refresh their browsers before doing so?

I kept my expectations super low and now I'm rather enjoying this cigar. Definitely getting some dried berry notes.
